91fc5bf652 x86: minnowmax: Adjust U-Boot environment address in SPI flash
Currently U-Boot environment address is at offset 0x7fe00 of a 8MB
SPI flash. When creating a partial u-boot.rom image without flash
descriptor and ME firmware, U-Boot actually occupies the last 1MB
of the flash, and reprograming U-Boot causes previous environment
settings get lost which is not convenient during testing.

Adjust the environment address to 0x6ef000 instead (before the MRC
cache data region in the flash).

374e78efb0 x86: Add support for the samus chromebook
This adds basic support for chromebook_samus. This is the 2015 Pixel and
is based on an Intel broadwell platform.

Supported so far are:
- Serial
- SPI flash
- SDRAM init (with MRC cache)
- SATA
- Video (on the internal LCD panel)
- Keyboard

Various less-visible drivers are provided to make the above work (e.g. PCH,
power control and LPC).

The platform requires various binary blobs which are documented in the
README. The major missing feature is USB3 since the existing U-Boot support
does not work correctly with Intel XHCI controllers.

7bea527160 x86: Update README to explain booting Ubuntu on Minnowmax
The steps required to boot a Linux distribution from U-Boot on x86 are not
very complicated, but it is a good idea to have these written down in an
accessible place.

Document how to examine the boot media from U-Boot, how to load a kernel,
load a ramdisk, set the kernel boot arguments and start the kernel. With
these instructions Ubuntu boots mostly normally on Minnowmax.

Note that the TSC timer does not operate correctly and gives warnings in
the boot log. I expect that ACPI support will solve this.
